Caloric vestibular stimulation: interaction between somatosensory system and vestibular apparatus
Spatial and bodily representations are multisensory processes that imply the integration of several afferent signals into a coherent internal model of our egocentric space. Crucially, this model involves also the vestibular information from the balance organs in the inner ear (Ventre et al., 1984). Accordingly, vestibular system projections have been proven to overlap with the somatosensory sys...
متن کاملCaloric vestibular stimulation in aphasic syndrome
Caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS) is commonly used to diagnose brainstem disorder but its therapeutic application is much less established. Based on the finding that CVS increases blood flow to brain structures associated with language and communication, we assessed whether the procedure has potential to relieve symptoms of post-stroke aphasia. Three participants, each presenting with chroni...
متن کاملHow the vestibular system interacts with somatosensory perception: A sham-controlled study with galvanic vestibular stimulation
The vestibular system has widespread interactions with other sensory modalities. Here we investigate whether vestibular stimulation modulates somatosensory function, by assessing the ability to detect faint tactile stimuli to the fingertips of the left and right hand with or without galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS). We found that left anodal and right cathodal GVS, significantly enhanced s...
متن کاملSyndrome of cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular areflexia: diagnosis by caloric vestibular stimulation.
Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) is a recently-described progressive degenerative disease whose exact prevalence remains unknown. This syndrome appears mainly sporadically and occasionally affects siblings. This has led researchers to consider the possibility of a recessive inheritance pattern, but the disease has not yet been linked to changes at a speci...
متن کاملElectrical Vestibular Stimulation after Vestibular Deafferentation and in Vestibular Schwannoma
BACKGROUND Vestibular reflexes, evoked by human electrical (galvanic) vestibular stimulation (EVS), are utilized to assess vestibular function and investigate its pathways. Our study aimed to investigate the electrically-evoked vestibulo-ocular reflex (eVOR) output after bilateral and unilateral vestibular deafferentations to determine the characteristics for interpreting unilateral lesions suc...
